Some of the writers on this site are Mets fans; others are Phillies fans. I don’t want to set any kind of precedent here that could lead into this turning into just petty bickering about which baseball team is better, but I just had to write something about 2008 World Series MVP Cole Hamels’ comments this week on WFAN in New York. (Full audio here if you haven’t heard it)
So Hamels (again, it bears repeating that he was the MVP of the 2008 World Series. That the Phillies won. Just saying.) was promoting a DVD of the World Series, and since he was talking with a New York radio show, the Mets came up.
Not shying away at all from the provocations of the radio hosts, Hamels unleashed possible the greatest thing a Phillie has said since Jimmy Rollins declared them the team to beat before the 2007 season: “Yeah, yeah, for the past two years, they’ve (the Mets) been choke artists.” I’m sure he’s going to catch hell for this, in New York at least, but, well, it’s not untrue. I just love that someone said it.
I really don't have anything else to add here. Seriously though, listen to the interview, it's awesome.
Uprooted.

I, too, have nothing wrong with what he said. If any part of that was untrue, I'd be calling for a naked, upside-down crucifixion of Mr. Hamels.
But sadly, it's not a lie at all.
